Out-of-state students?

<p>I just found out that NCF has a Medieval/Renaissance Studies major, which is my intended field. Although I was planning on staying in the Northeast, NCF's reputation and program might be able to lure me down there.</p>

<p>I know NCF is something like 85% in-state, so I'm wondering what out-of-state students need to do to get in. Is it that in-state heavy because no one from out-of-state is applying, or do they just not like taking out-of-state candidates?</p>

<p>Also, I'd be looking to come in as a transfer. Any thoughts on that would be very much appreciated.</p>

<p>I would suggest you ask these questions of Admissions. They are opened and honest about standards, why they have few out of staters (I think they do want out of staters but cannot take a huge number bc they have a commitment to in). Still, they want more and I would just talk with them honestly.</p>

<p>Do you go there? In what way is it hard? Please advise. My d. has been admitted but we are not sure. . .seems very small and homogeneous. Not sure too much independent study would make completing assignments difficult. Still what a marvelous and beautiful location and what a nice laid back administration.</p>

<p>It's cheaper, an absolute bargain, for in state students. I think that explains part of the dearth of out of staters. I'm a NCF alumni. I was an in state transfer student from a 2 year Junior College program when I got admitted. I barely made it through high school. I spent too much time cutting classes. I was admitted because I was extremely serious about going to college after a stint in the military and had a 4.0 in my junior college classes. Also they give a good deal of weight to the requested writing sample. I agree with kinkosmom, talk to the admissions staff, they are as open as you will find.</p>

<p>While the school does have a laid back reputation, it is an academically challenging environment. There’s a great deal of freedom in designing your own course of study. I enjoyed the ability to create custom courses, spend one on one time with faculty members and pursue independent study projects. It requires a bit more self-motivation then most places. If you require a lot of structure look elsewhere.</p>
